So i was reading this article and watch a little video on the abc news website about a veteran that was living on the streets for countless years in Washington DC. Tony jones is an African American male that got a great opprotunity to make his life better and change his life around. The news reporter met with Tony months before and now he got a chance to meet with him again in a different setting now his own apartment. Tony lives in an apartment that the veterans association has paid for him to live in, Tony now has a job as a local delivery boy riding his bike for a law firm delivering messages from place to place. He has furnished his apartment stocked it with food and has turned his life around. The quote that he says in the interview is ” Im living large now. You know? Im living large”. This is crazy to think one day he was living on the streets with nothing now he is in an apartment with a solid roof over his head. They got a chance to talk to the veterans association that put Tony into his beautiful home and they said that in their city they have about 1,500 veterans on the street and they plan on ending homelessness in DC by the end of the year. I honestly think this is so amazing i know that not all homeless people are veterans but i feel like its only right that they are being helped because they risked their life on the line for our country and they do not deserve to be living on the streets, no one should have to do that. But like they say once you make a change in someones like people see that and it makes others want to help out.
